Meet the fabulous Oskar! 🌟 This handsome mini Australian Shepherd has a heartwarming story that will melt anyone's heart. Rescued from a breeder dump earlier this year, Oskar is on a remarkable journey of transformation. Imagine a life spent in crates with little human contact; that's the past Oskar is leaving behind! His fellow Aussie pals have already found their forever homes, but Oskar is taking his time to learn the ropes of being a beloved pet. After all, he never really got to experience a proper puppyhood! 🎉 Oskar weighs in at 32 lbs and was born in mid-2022, making him a young spirit who’s ready to embrace the joys of life! With his stunning blue merle coat and piercing blue eyes, he is simply a sight to behold! Speaking of sights, let’s not forget that he doesn’t bark; he makes adorable "Woo Woo" sounds, as he finds his voice—so charming! Oskar is searching for a patient, compassionate family ready to guide him through his new life. This wonderful boy is a project dog, meaning he has specific needs and will require a savvy, calm environment. He adores cuddles and loves playing with other dogs, either all at once or one at a time—it's all about the PLAY! 🐾 However, he isn't quite suitable for families with kids due to his sensitivity and fear of new people. He thrives on companionship, needing another dog in the household—preferably one that will help him learn how to be the best boy he can be. 🏠 Oskar is house and crate trained, and while he enjoys his walks, he still needs an experienced handler to help him feel secure on a leash. Imagine him trotting along, trying to convince you that he doesn't need it—just like hiding the last cookie from a friend! Oskar may have been through a lot and may not ever be that dog that rushes to greet guests with excitement, but once he trusts, the connection is magical. He’s got a sense of humor that will put a smile on your face, and his persistent "Woo Woos" might just win you over! ❤️ If you think you have it in your heart to give this special boy the love and patience he needs, then it's time to take action! Together, let’s turn Oskar’s story into one of triumph and love. ✨ Be sure to *apply through the Buddy App* so you can provide him with the warm and understanding home he deserves. Remember, Oskar can only be adopted in New Mexico, and he’s ready to find his furever family!
